Yeah I don't think Ivory comes here to backup Yeldon. It wouldn't surprise me if he beats him for the starting gig and we see a full-blown time share. Don't kid yourself. We didn't bring in Ivory and pay him what we did for him to be a situational back. And I don't think he comes here to be that either.

 

I think the telling comment for me is when Dave talked about Ivory, he talked about him being decisive and hits the hole fast while TJ is more patient. I have a feeling that when they looked at film, they saw TJ dancing around too much in the backfield when there were holes (albeit perhaps small) that he could have hit.

 

Even with Denard with his fumbling issues, you were able to see a bit how "deliberate" our running game looked like when he was in there vs. TJ.
